- Paperback
The events that led up to dissident writer Ken Saro-Wiwa's execution in 1995 marked Nigeria's decline from a post-colonial success story to its current military dictatorship. Wole Soyinka, whose own Nigerian passport was confiscated by the Nigerian military in 1994, explores the history and future of Nigeria in a compelling jeremiad that is as intense as it is provocative, learned, and wide-ranging.

First line
I am obliged to concede that the overall tenor of my remarks could be easily construed as a requiem for what we know as the nation of Nigeria, so let me caution at the beginning that this is not my intention.
